Dead Heat

This finish-lin- e
photograph caused the Fushcart Derby's judges to declare the race a dead heat between Triangle (car No. 19) and Delta Tau Delta (car No. 5) after they had originally given Triangle first place. The black line running through the wide white stripe indicates the official finish
line. The Delt car was driven by Claude Pierce and pushed last by Kenny Baker. The Triangle driver
is Walt Bomhoff, pushed by Jim Irvin, who fell down at the finish line. His hand is visible just above
Bomhoff's left shoulder. The teams will have a rematch at 2 p.m. Sunday.
